| The first time ihad a problem with the door locks the l/r door would not open.after some time i was able to open the door by manually holding the unlock button while pulling on the door handle. a few months later the r/r door would not unlock. i could not unlock the door from either inside or outside, this makes 2 doors inoperable. some time later,the r/f door won't unlock or open from outside. the r/f door can be opened by holding up on the unlock button and pulling on the inside door handle . this makes 3 doors down, also, door locks make a whining noise ,what a death trap. i am 72 years old and ihave never in my life seen anything like this. i was told that repair cost would be about 350.00 per door. thank you. | |||
